5/1

Solid first three efforts prior to being outclassed in valuable sales race at Newbury. Gives impression wil see out the extra furlong on handicap bow and rider's 5lb allowance helps the cause.

5/6

Going the right way and only just missed out last time in Newbury 6f novice event. Found soft ground too much for him previous start so wouldn't want ground to ease too much.

Bobby On The Beat¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 72

3/1

Ran green on debut at Newmarket 6f last month then ran well until tiring final furlong over 7f at Ascot recently. Return to this trip looks right call and has every chance of making winning handicap debut.

Solid efforts last two starts over 6f in novice auction and maiden company. Gets weight from all three rivals on handicap bow and worth checking for market confidence for top yard.

Forecasts

Line Of Departure (5/6), Bobby On The Beat (3/1), Bungledupinblue (5/1), Beverage (9/1)

A very trappy little nursery with all four having a shout. BOBBY ON THE BEAT is the marginal call with the return to 6f likely to bring out the best in him,. He ran well for a long way over 7f at Ascot last time. As long as there's no further rain Line Of Departure could be the biggest danger on his good second at Newbury last time, while Bungledupinblue will find this easier than the hot sales race she tackled at Newbury. Beverage is open to improvement now handicapping and represents a team still firing in the winners.
